Marcus... simply substitute Roland or Korg for Yamaha, and you may see why something like this is so good... You like your T5, but maybe you'd like to play some Roland styles or Korg styles into it?
Sure, you can buy EMC software, do all the converting yourself, deal with drum maps and non-standard sounds and features, or you get vArranger, and have it do all that for you, in realtime!
This thread concentrated on ONE way of using it, using Ketron or Korg sound sources to play Yamaha styles. But there's no reason (if Dan has the maps working) why it can't go in the other direction, depending on the Tyros's capabilities.
Hi DiKi
I still don't quite understand what you are saying and the purpose of the software. So for some reason the vArranger degrades the sounds of the Tyros 5, and I assume Yamaha styles in general, but substituting Roland or Korg make the vArranger sound "so good".
The program will make TOTL Roland or Korg sound better? Don't people buy the TOTL product for its sound quality and all-in-one capabilities?
I do load Roland and Korg styles into my Tyros 5, of course the pre-converted ones, but I am trying to improve the sound, not degrade it, plus wouldn't one what to convert and setup styles before a live situation. One bring more than your one arranger to a gig? Isn't that the point a an arranger?
I have done Custom Voices and Custom Drum kits with my own samples with my Tyros 3 and 4 over the years, and load no problem into the Tyros 5 via my Tyros 4 library saves. Now my Custom Voices and Drum Kits sound even better plus the ability to use the new and latest DSP effects and integrate sound of the Custom Voices into the styles as well.
I am in the process now of converting some of my favorite and usable Roland, Ketron and Korg to the Tyros 5 and voice/drumkit plalets. A lot of them adapt well into the T5 Audio Style conversion and the other Mega, SA, and Custom Voices. I can't see how the vArranger program is going to make these styles sound better or realer than the T5 sounds?
On another Yamaha forum I posted MP3s of one of Hennie's old styles converted into audio in the Tyros 5 Style Creator. Took less than 5 minutes, but once saved it is there for gigging if I want.
Also there was one of my several Tyros 5 Audio Styles converted to midi. Anyone with a T4 or T5 can try it if they want. I am fine with the Tyros 5 capabilities for now.

So there are three downloads below. The first is the MP3 of the T5 country audio style, EasyCountry1, just running through Intro III, variation A-B-C-D, Break, variation A again, and ending III. The second MP3 is a recording of the same style with the midi drum part conversion and how it sounds on a T5. My T4 isn't home right now, so I can't test it myself, but anyone else be my guest. The third download is the converted style to try. It has that name because I borrowed the midi drum part from the most suitable style, the EasyCountry2 which isn't audio.
The Audio Styles are not at all limiting, I'll have no problem filling up my User Drive with saves, plus 50 great Audio Styles easily converted to midi with outstanding quality, programing and realism of the new T5 voices and DSPs.

So basically you can take a basic style and convert it to audio on the Tyros 5 Style Creator. So all your Korg or Ketron Styles for instance.
I am slowing going through my favorite styles and just going through Hennie's conversion styles. For instance in his Fav2B folder, for fun I took his Cocaine_Ty style and made it audio with the SheriffReggae Audio Style. Again, here are two MP3s, first the original midi style converted to audio in the second example.
